Correct way to configure Rendezvous point redundancy when using Auto-RP

[carl_townshend]

Hi there

Can anyone tell me when we use Auto RP, do you need to configure Anycast RP and use the same loopback IP on 2 different routers with MSDP between them? or can you use different IP addresses and just let the mapping agents pick the best one and if one fails they will advertise the other one?

How should it be done when using Auto RP, what would the config look like?

cheers
